Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing extremely high purity parts for use to the heating furnace comprising adding a sintering assistant of 0.5-2.0 weight % and a binder, to SiC powder which has an average particle diameter of 2 μm or less, and molding it to a predetermined form; applying the purification treatment to this molded body by placing it in the 800°-1,300° C. atmosphere of a gas which is selected from a group consisting of halogen gas and hydrogen halide; degassing the purified molded body in vacuum under a temperature higher than that employed at the purification treatment; sintering the degassed molded body, and coating an SiC film on at least part of the sintered body according to the chemical vapor deposition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of manufacturing parts for a heating furnace comprising: (a) adding a sintering assistant of 0.5-2.0 wt. % and a binder, to SiC powder which has an average particle diameter of 2 μm or less, and molding it to a predetermined form: (b) purifying the molded body by placing it in an atmosphere consisting essentially of of halogen gas or hydrogen halide gas at a temperature in the range of 800°-1300° C.; (c) degassing the purified molded body in a vacuum under a temperature higher than that employed during said purification; (d) sintering the degassed molded body; and (e) coating a SiC film on at least part of the sintered body by chemical vapor deposition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of manufacturing parts for a heating furnace comprising: (a) adding a sintering assistant of 0.5-2.0 wt. % and a binder, to SiC powder which has an average particle diameter of 2 μm or less, and molding it to a predetermined form: (b) purifying the molded body by placing it in an atmosphere consisting essentially of of halogen gas or hydrogen halide gas at a temperature in the range of 800°-1300° C.; (c) degassing the purified molded body in a vacuum under a temperature higher than that employed during said purification; (d) sintering the degassed molded body; and (e) coating a SiC film on at least part of the sintered body by chemical vapor deposition.
